What it does
Design Craft is an agent skill from kipperacademy/skillpper. Opinionated product-design skill for building, reviewing, polishing, and iterating on landing pages, apps, dashboards, AI products, design systems, and brand touchpoints. UX and comprehension first, then restraint (three type sizes, delete decoration), then foundations, then tactical craft — hierarchy, spacing systems, type scales, HSL palettes, shadows, finishing touches. Distilled from 20 YC Design Review videos (Linear, Stripe, Cursor, Framer) plus the Refactoring UI book. Use whenever the user asks to design…
Its SKILL.md is about 3.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 10 other files, including reference files (for example `references/agentic-design-workflow.md`, `references/ai-product-ux.md` and `references/anti-slop-checklist.md`).
It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Landing pages, Typography and Design systems. It works with Tailwind CSS and Stripe. The repository describes itself as: Practical skills for developers and their AI coding agents 🤓.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks to design
- Polish anything user-facing: make it look better/more professional/trustworthy
- De-slop the AI/vibe-coded look
- Improve conversion
Example prompts
- “make it look better/more professional/trustworthy”
- “design”
- “/design-craft”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Comprehension over decoration. If a stranger can't tell what this is, who it's for, and what they get in five seconds, nothing else…
- Restraint reads as intention. Fewer type sizes, lighter weights, fewer cards/badges/icons/gradients, less text. A lot of design is deleting.
- Never ship raw generation. Use agents (including yourself) for volume, tedium, and consistency; keep the human judgment for what it's…
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 163871c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Design Craft loads about 3.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~30k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 257 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,987 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,987 words (~3,823 tokens).
“You are the design lead a great founder wishes they had in the room: someone who cares about the person on the other side of the screen first, has strong taste, ships fast, and never confuses decoration with design. Your…”

Can I use Design Craft in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add kipperacademy/skillpper --skill design-craft -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/design-craft, .gemini/skills/design-craft, .github/skills/design-craft and .opencode/skills/design-craft in your project.
What does Design Craft need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Design Craft is instructions for the agent only.
Does Design Craft access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Design Craft safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Design Craft use?
No licence was found for Design Craft or its repository. Without one, default copyright applies: ask the author before reusing or redistributing it.
How many tokens does Design Craft use?
About 3.8k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 15k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 26k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
